Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 139 Big Cock

"Xiao Laizi, you are really awesome. Why can't I hear anything?" Dahu said enviously.

If I had this ability, I would never have to worry about not having enough food to eat.

Xiaohu and Dawa also looked at him with envy.

"My master taught me this, but it's very difficult to learn. It's good enough for one person out of tens of thousands of people to have this ability. It took me a long time to slowly master it."

He Lai could only lie to deceive them.

"Oh, so that's it." After hearing what He Lai said, Da Hu knew that he probably wouldn't be able to learn it.

But now that I am grown up, I can occasionally go into the mountains with my father to set traps and catch some prey.

As private transactions were no longer allowed, the He family stopped fishing. They only caught a few fish occasionally for themselves, but their life was still the best in the village.

……

"Grandpa, come out and see, we caught another rabbit!" Dahu happily rushed into the yard holding the rabbit in his hand.

When Mr. He heard the voice, he walked out of the house and saw the rabbits in Da Hu and the others' hands, and his face was also full of smiles.

"Old woman, come out quickly, let's kill the rabbit." Old Master He also shouted.

Soon, Mrs. He and Wu Juan came out. They were very happy to see so many rabbits, and then they started to boil water and sharpen knives. He Lai also followed Wu Juan into the kitchen and started to make a fire, after all, making a fire was a good job.

Da Hu and his friends are now very skilled at skinning rabbits and they finish it in a short while.

Grandpa He also learned from Da Hu and the others that it was He Lai who could hear the noise underground, and he was also surprised. But he didn't think much about it, after all, he was his good grandson.

"Let's kill two first and eat them as a supplement for our grandchildren. Xiaohu, take one to your Grandpa Wu." Grandpa He handed Xiaohu one and instructed.

"Got it." Xiaohu took the rabbit and ran away.

"Juanzi, how come our little Laizi is so outstanding? Grandma, the more I see him, the more I like him."

When Old Mrs. Wu heard that it was He Lai's achievement, she kept smiling.

"Hey, mom, he just can't sit still. Don't you know that he's not at home every day in the courtyard, and he never has a day to rest."

Wu Juan responded with a smile.

"Grandma, my mother doesn't know how to appreciate the blessings she has, right?"

"Yes, yes, your mother is very lucky."

There was laughter in the kitchen and joy outside.

……

Soon, fish, rabbit and other delicious dishes were on the table. Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.

"You guys are all thanks to Xiao Laizi. From now on, you can eat meat every day. Grandpa never dared to think about it before."

Grandpa He also lamented the changes in his life. Looking at his grandchildren wolfing down their food, he felt very satisfied.

"Grandpa, you eat too. Good days are yet to come!" He Lai picked up a piece of rabbit meat and gave it to Grandpa He.

"Okay, okay, okay, Grandpa eats, Grandpa eats." Grandpa He picked up the rabbit meat and ate it happily.

……

At night, He Lai's room

"Little Laizi, don't blame your mother. Just treat it as a way of showing filial piety to her, okay?"

Wu Juan saw He Lai's expression and knew that He Lai had remembered those things. She quickly pulled He Lai, who was sleeping with his head turned away, over and said something.

"Mom, I want to say it directly. Do you have to do this? Once you've given me everything, I won't have anything left to give me."

He Lai pretended to be angry on the fire pit.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I'll let you send me off next time. I'll let you send me off. I'm leaving tomorrow. Are you sure you want to stay like this? I'll be sad."

Wu Juan quickly pretended to be sad.

"Don't be sad, I was just teasing you. I would have forgiven you a long time ago."

He Lai quickly hugged Wu Juan and coaxed her.

"This is my good son. I've left you a bag of candy. You should give it to Da Hu on my behalf when the time comes. Also, help me make a big red envelope for him, okay?"

"Got it. Mom, how big is considered a big red envelope?"

"Pack 5 bucks."

"Then mother gives money."

"You can pay for me first, and I'll give it to you after I get my salary."

"Mom, I'm not easy to fool."

"No, you're so deceitful."

……

"Oh, oh, oh..."

He Lai woke up and Wu Juan was gone.

He Lai wondered why there was a rooster in Grandpa's house! This was not okay.

He Lai heard the rooster crow and had no choice but to get up. He took the cup and went to the kitchen to brush his teeth and wash his face.

"Grandma, when did our family start raising a rooster?" He Lai asked Grandma He while brushing his teeth.

"Hey, this was bought by your uncle. Your grandfather thought it was nice to wake people up by crowing a rooster, so he kept it.

What? Did it disturb your grandson? Then kill it tonight and eat its meat. "

Old Mrs. He was also a smart woman. She knew that He Lai must have been woken up by the rooster.

"Grandma, let's wait until Brother Dahu gets married before killing him. That way we'll have more food."

He Lai felt a little embarrassed as he had to kill two chickens as soon as he arrived.

"What's the big deal? It's okay. Grandma is also annoyed by that rooster. It starts crowing before dawn."

Old Mrs. He smiled and served a bowl of rice porridge to He Lai. She bought it specially because she knew He Lai liked to eat rice.

"Grandma, you are so kind." He Lai said while hugging Grandma He.

"Okay, okay, drink it while it's hot. It won't taste good if it's cold." Old Mrs. He patted He Lai on the back.

"Got it, grandma."

……

After breakfast, He Lai started reading a medical book in the room. He thought that the morning time could not be wasted.

You must continue on the path of studying medicine and master the knowledge first.

Once you get into reading, time always flies by and before you know it, it’s time for lunch again.

He Lai stood up, twisted his waist, stretched a little, and walked out of the house.

"Grandma, where is grandpa?" He Lai asked when he saw that only grandma was busy in the room.

"Big Hu's wife's parents are here, your grandfather should go over to discuss it. We'll eat by ourselves, don't worry about them." Old Mrs. He also brought out the leftover meat and vegetables from yesterday, and a bowl of white rice.

He Lai looked at his rice, then looked at the steamed bun in his grandmother's hand. He picked up the bowl and poured half of the rice into Grandma He's bowl, then broke off half of the steamed bun from her hand and started eating.

"This child." Old Mrs. He didn't say anything and started eating.

……

After dinner, He Lai and Old Lady He basked in the sun in the yard.

He Lai also looked around the yard. There was almost no change. The only change was the big rooster.

It’s okay now. There are many children. I can catch some insects and feed them so I’m not very thin.

The saying that the stingy man guards the door is not for nothing, because you can see him walking back and forth in the chicken coop.

Let you cool down in the afternoon!

He Lai looked at it fiercely and saw the corn cob next to it.

He Lai suddenly remembered a more reliable food in the future. Mushrooms! It seems that corn cobs are needed.

Think about it, mushrooms are easy to grow, just water them.

But the only problem is how to obtain the fungus strains. It seems that the fungus strains can only be grown in a sealed environment.

This is a difficult problem! I remember that later generations seemed to use potato liquid, glucose and agar.

The items should not be difficult to obtain, but test tubes seem to be relatively rare.
